Eight-hundred miles away, students and staff members in Henryville, Ind., know firsthand what those tornado victims need and they want to help.

Henryville High School is collecting donations for the victims of Monday's deadly tornado.

They want those victims in Oklahoma to know -- they're not alone -- and it does get better.

The students have just two days left in the school year and they're making them count.

They're collecting donations that principal Troy Albert will take to Moore.

Albert also has some advice for school leaders there.

"Get a plan developed of what you're going to do with school next year and start working that so it’s an effective program and after you have a plan, communicate to parents and students so you can keep them in your community," Albert said.

Albert's wife -- science teacher Karen Albert -- is also helping.

She bought 100 bags so far that volunteers will fill with essentials that those victims desperately need.

"When it all first started we just needed basics, the toothpaste, toothbrush, things you just didn't have anymore," said Karen Albert.

The images coming out of Oklahoma these past few days haven't been easy to see for people here.

An EF4 tornado ripped through Henryville on March 2, 2012, but they rebuilt, and they know Moore will, too.

Troy Albert and his wife plan on heading to Oklahoma on June 3, which is after graduation here.
